[QUOTE="Sun, post: 68081, member: 143"] I hadnt thought about the boot, hopefully it wont. I have had pants get caught on my shrouds before though. It was annoying! Bike has been having heat issues. Running very hot. Last time out, two weeks ago, it cut out on me. Wouldnt start for a while. Perhaps a bad gasket on the water pump. Perhaps vapor lock or boiling gas. Im hoping I have not done any serious damage. I was going to re-jet, put heat tape uder the gas tank and replace the notorious bad gasket on the water pump. Well I wasnt going to personally:rolleyes: but that is what I was going to have done. But then I was told I really should look at the piston and cylinder. Not just cross my fingers and assume it is all ok. So that is what is going to be done. Open it up, examined throughly and figure it all out. Hopefully I have not done any serious damage and I will be good to go in a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
